The political ardour is gaining pace in Karnataka as the counting of votes for 222 of the 224 Assembly seats is underway across the state.

Until now Yeddyurappa-led BJP has been emerging as the single largest party in Karnataka while Siddaramaiah-led Congress has failed to retain its last stronghold in the country.

With the Bharatiya Janata Party taking a huge lead in the Karnataka Assembly Elections 2018, the Congress decided to forge an alliance with HD Deve Gowda's Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) to form government in the state.

While the Congress, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, was in fray in 222 constituencies, the saffron party put up candidates in all the 224 seats to make a powerful comeback after five years in Karnataka.

The polling for 222 assembly seats earlier took place on May 12. Exit polls predicted a hung Assembly with former prime minister Deve Gowda returning to a 'kingmaker role' in the state.
